all protection programs have different database and different names for the same infection. those might have found it but couldn't remove it or just quantined it. superantispyware as a nice vundo database along with other infections. and some infections just need specialty tools to remove them completelyWell, your main infection was Vundo. I'm not sure why VundoFix didn't pick it up...it should have recognized the infection because it's not a new version. PERHAPS it was old enough to not be supported. I will see if I can get an ANSWER from the creator. Anyway...although you had Vundo, I don't think it was the one changing your settings. You also had an IE hijacker, which I believe was causing the problems you described. In addition to these, you had a couple of infections that I can't identify.

As for why McAfee and Spyware Doctor didn't catch the infection, just look at unlovedwarrior's post. Personally, I would consider switching from McAfee to AVG Free. It's free and tends to clean infections better than McAfee. I think their firewall is great, but their anti-virus leaves something to be desired.

And yes, there are changes you can make to increase your security. First of all, you should clear out your restore points and create a new one...

1. Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
2. Click on System Restore Settings.
3. Check Turn off System Restore and click OK.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Follow steps 1 and 2 to return to the settings, uncheck Turn off System Restore, and click OK.
6. Create a new restore point and close the program.

System Restore will now be active again. If you would like to LEARN more about System Restore, go here.

I see that your Java is out of date. You'll want to correct this quickly, as it will help provide further protection for you. To do so, go here and click on Free Java Download. You will be given instructions on what to do next.

For future prevention, I would suggest AdAware SE Personal, AVG Anti-Spyware, and Spybot - Search & Destroy for spyware/adware. You should have at least two of these installed on your program (one may pick up what another can't) and update them regularly. For viruses, AVG Anti-Virus is a very good choice. In my experience, it has been one of the best. And again, make sure you update it regularly. It would also be a good idea to have CCleaner handy for cleaning up unnecessary temporary files and registry entries. Do this at least once a week. I would also advise downloading SiteAdvisor and SpywareBlaster, which will both make your internet browsing a lot safer.

Also...you're vulnerable without a firewall, so you should look into getting either ZoneAlarm, Kerio Personal Firewall, or Comodo. They're all good free firewalls. Just be sure you only have one installed at a time! Download the firewall of your choice, disconnect from the internet, disable Windows Firewall, and install your new firewall.
